Where are you?

I know it's cold outside but Zumba/Dance Trance and Spin class are inside and warm!   Last week, Alabamalaska (snow/ice) probably made it difficult to continue to pursue your New Year's resolution.  A great fitness goal is to make small changes in your lifestyle which become healthy habits forever.  What can you do to ensure success?  Maybe you have to pack your bag with your workout gear, place it in your car ahead of time.  Maybe you have to have a training partner to hold you accountable for your workout.  Whatever it takes to get you started and keep you going,  Just Do It.  Nike made a lot of money off of their logo.  But it really is pretty simple.  JUST DO IT.... Join The Movement!  Next week we will offer Spin Class on Thursday-4:15-5pm and Friday 6-6:45am.  Dance Trance will be Thursday @ 3:45pm.  MOVE!
